Estelles POV :
I saw the look Maximus and Raya exchanged.
I know there's something going on with my girl, something she's not telling me, something I'll find out too!
My b***h can't keep nothing from me. I'd die for my girl and I know she would for me too. Without a second thought. Which is why I'm starting to get my hackles up.
Raya's threat to douchè and douchèttè back there at that sluts party wasn't an empty one. The coldness in her voice seriously gave me the willies.
I know I'm not the smartest tool in the shed but even I'm starting to add things up. Helps we've been besties since 3rd grade, but if even Archie picked up on it at the club entrance. Something is going on.
Now how to get her to tell me...think, Queen Bee, think.
Loving my new nickname by the way.
See why I love my girl. She's the best!
Raya's Uncle Raymond owns the club, he's so easy going and he totally dotes on Raya.
Even though she refuses to accept 99% of the things he tries to buy her, entry to his club since we were 15yrs old isn't one of the things she denys us. She once mentioned how her favourite car was a 1967 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28. Her 16th birthday guess what is parked in her driveway?! I s**t you not! Exactly that car matching the same colour as her freaking green eyes! But being the amazing girl she is, she picked Coco and I up, we cruised around in it all day, she drove it to the club, walked into Uncle Raymond's office and handed him the keys back saying thanks for the best birthday present ever, but one day I want to buy it she was going to buy it with her own money. Wow. Just wow. Uncle Raymond has sworn me to secrecy that he's still got it stored in one of his warehouses for the day she wants it. Can we all say Nawwwww ?!
His club Toro Loco is absolutely pumping, even on the quietest day of the week.
He used to have one of his bouncers "babysit" us when we're were under-age and cut us off after 3 drinks, but always sent us home in his private car to make sure we got home safe.
I love her Uncle. Not in that way! Ew! Just that he's more of a father figure in Raya's life than he own dad. He's a d**k. That's why Raya calls her Uncle Raymond, "Papa". That's why she wasn't insulted when Maximus said she's just like her Papa. Everyone loves Uncle Raymond. Just like everyone loves Raya. They're like magnets everyone is drawn to.
Maybe that's why her dad is such an arse hole to both of them. Pure jealousy.
I remember when we were 10 years old on a Christmas morning, Christmas holidays we'd be at each other's houses 24/7. This Christmas they'd asked me to come with them and my parents trusted Raya's like family. We were all sitting around the tree, Raya's mum, Izzy, hands Raya a present winking telling her its from Uncle Raymond. No joke her dad, laughing and joking one second, turns red, switches personalities, and starts raging ! Snatches Raya's present out of her hands and threw it out the window and stormed out of the house and we didn't see him again til New Years Eve!
Lucky it was a summer house and the windows were open, but Holy Shite! I just looked at Raya, she and her mum just gave each other a look then looked at me and realised I'd just witnessed her dad go ape-s**t and both couldn't stop apologising. Later when we were by ourselves we went and found it in the bushes, it was a beautiful tiny heart pendant on the back engraved "Love Papa". She asked me to promise not to say anything to anyone, ever, cos she just doesn't want people to look at her different or pity her cos her dads a psycho. I promised her and kept it. Always. Since then I've always felt very protective of her, just like she's always been of me.
I'll never forget how she protected me from my abuser when we were 12. Too much. Can't go there yet.
But that's why and how I know we'd do anything for each other. Thicker than blood we are.
I might’ve joined our trio a year later than Coco, but she doesn't know half the s**t we've been through or done. We loved her but always had that gut feeling that something just irked us about her. Guess our guts were right after the s**t show tonight...anyway!! Party time!!!!
Archie's POV :
I can't believe that fucker. He had it all with Raya. She is like every guys dream girl. I've never said or shown how I feel about cos let's face it. They were dating and that'd be a totally d**k move, and he asked her out first.
So like the best mate I was, watched the most gorgeous girl I've ever seen start dating my best mate. I could see she was falling in love with him and I thought he was with her. I saw how her best friend Coco would always give the flirty eyes to Jude and warned him but he always brushed it off as nothing. Raya trusted them both to probably not even notice or think anything of it. Coco is known to be the college bicycle so I tried not to overthink it. Dirty slut bag. Who does that?! To your best friend??!!
Seeing and listening to it all unfold at the party was hard to watch. Restraining myself from going to hold her was even harder.
That threat Raya threw sounded cold man. Like frosty the snowman was about to get frostbite. I won't lie, it did something to me. It lit a fire inside me. Like it was just one more thing to admire and respect her for.
This chick is remarkable! And Hot! Did I say hot already? No? Shame on me!
